NAME
       ofm2opl	-  convert  Omega  and	TeX font-metric files to property-list
       files

SYNOPSIS
       ofm2opl [ OPTION... ] OFMNAME[.ofm] [ OPLFILE[.opl] ]

DESCRIPTION
       ofm2opl translates a binary Omega Font Metrics file,  OFMNAME,  into  a
       human-readable property-list form.  The program writes to standard out‐
       put (by default) or to a file specified as OPLFILE.

       The program also works with TeX TFM  files,  producing  TeX  PL	files.
       (ofm2opl is based on the WEB source code for tftopl(1).)

OPTIONS
       -charcode-format=TYPE
	      output  character	 codes	according to TYPE, which can be either
	      `hex' or `ascii'.	 Default is `hex'.  ascii specifes  all	 ASCII
	      letters and digits; hex gets you everything else.

       -help  display a brief summary of syntax and options

       -verbose
	      display progress reports

       -version
	      output version information and exit

FILES
       OFMNAME
	      an Omega Font Metric file

       OPLFILE
	      an Omega Property List file

BUGS
       None known, but report any found to <omega@ens.fr> (mailing list).  You
       may also want to check to see if the same bug is present in pltotf(1).

AUTHOR
       According to the WEB documentation:

	      The first TFtoPL program was designed by Leo Guibas in the  sum‐
	      mer of 1978.  Contributions by Frank Liang, Doug Wyatt, and Lyle
	      Ramshaw also had a significant effect on the  evolution  of  the
	      present code.

	      Extensions for an enhanced ligature mechanism were added by D.E.
	      Knuth in 1989.

	      Extensions to handle extended font metric files  (``OFM'')  were
	      added  by John Plaice in December 1995 and January 1996, result‐
	      ing in the new program OFM2OPL.

       The primary authors of Omega are John  Plaice  <plaice@cse.unsw.edu.au>
       and Yannis Haralambous <yannis@fluxus-virus.com>.
